Hey all,
Just updated to 2.4.0.143 from 2.3.9.x, noticed the UI change. Looks nice, but I'm lost on a couple of things. Such as, being able to set the device LED state when off (or on). For my outside lights, I like the LED to illuminate when the device is on and for my interior lights I like the LED on when the device is OFF, so I can find it in the dark. That seems to have moved somewhere (Or might have been removed), any pointers??
A @kahn-hubitat mentioned, everything is in tabs now - personally, I think this is a big usability improvement compared to scrolling forever while looking for something.:
Maybe it's a problem with the device. It's a ge/jasco smart switch zwave but doesn't show the same preferences as the other ge/jasco switches.
If you check the other devices, are they all using the same driver type?
For whatever reason, this one is different. It shows two separate switches. It's just like every other GE/Jasco switch I have in my house. Not sure why this one presents differently.
Like I said earlier. It’s most likely using a different driver to the other devices for some unknown reason.
So go into one that does show up correctly and check the driver description. Then go back to the other device and change it, if it’s not matching.
If they do match, then I’d suggest messaging @support-agent or @bobbyD with the issue so they can investigate. They’ll need your hub ID and permission to access your engineering logs remotely.
I believe that you will find that the one oddball might be Jason Bottjen’s (@JasonJoel’s) excellent parent/child driver. I use it and it’s always been great.
I'm seeing a UI bug for one of my motion sensors when I go to the edit page "http://<my_ip>/device/edit/<device_id>"
The edit overlay window is fine:
But when I got to the actual edit page, I just get a blank white screen:
I think the apostrophe in device name is breaking something with the new UI.

I’m no expert cider by any stretch of the imagination but it’s easy to spot that line 102 was three apostrophes.
Is there any way for the code to use quotes as the wrapper instead of apostrophies? Or maybe set the device name to a variable and put the variable in line 102?

I believe I’m seeing the same thing on v. 2.4.0.142. Device details page appears to be entirely blank if there’s an apostrophe in the device name.
Tried with both a regular (') and curly cue (‘) apostrophe.
ETA: no change after updating to .143.

Using single quotes for vars are fine, they just need to sanitize the input.
I was on my iPhone using safari. I’ll have to check from a desktop browser.
I can verify that a device with an apostrophe in the name is OK in Safari and Chrome on my MacBook, but blank in Safari on my iPhone.

Mine is having issues with Chrome on Windows 11 and Android.
Enjoying the changes, with a few (very minor) suggestions.
App Pages
- Access to the Status page directly from the Apps page without launching the app's main page (used to support via the gear icon). Sometimes it's nice to view the Status before the app executes the main page, which changes the Status information.
Device Pages
- Support for the "browser back" function to close the Device pop-over page. Previously, "browser back" would return from the Device page back to the Devices List page. Now, closing the pop-over requires mouse navigation to click the close/X or to click to the left of the pop-over.
- "Browser back" and "refresh" functionality to return to the previously select Device tab (i.e. not automatically going to the Commands tab).
- On the Device Info tab, "link to another device" is empty. (It used to default to "Keep device current link".) After selecting "Keep" and saving, the value disappears again.
- Keyboard "Return" does not save the Preferences or Device Info as it used to. This adds more mouse navigation and potentially leads to forgetting to save.
- Current states default. A global setting to apply the desired setting to all devices would be nice. Changing 500 devices can take some time.
- (This is not new to the UI changes.) It would be nice if clicking "Add device" changes to the "Add Device" page immediately, before waiting for the Devices page to load all the devices (which can take 5+ seconds).
Thanks for the hard work on the UI!

This is still there -- it's the "i" icon on the far right instead of a gear icon.

Great, thank you! Not sure how I missed that. Any way to open it into its own tab from the "i" icon? Right-click-open-in-new-tab for the "i" icon opens the "installed apps" page.
I don't think so. Seems to be a thing with the new flyovers in the UI instead of separate pages for most things (device detail page is an exception since the arrow icon lets you do it that way instead).
